This 8-page resource consists of twelve historical sources on the leadership struggle including varying perspectives from historians such as Pipes and Volkogonov. The resource encourages students to explore the reasons for Stalin's success in the leadership struggle and the significance of the struggle. Students are provided with a series of questions akin to the questions which appeared in both Unit 3 and Unit 4 source sets in the 2016 WACE exam.
This teaching resource is designed to be printed as an A3 booklet and can be used in a Flipped Classroom. Students can read their text on the Leadership Struggle at home, make notes and come to class prepared to discuss and debate the issues which arise in the carefully selected sources in their booklet.
